>I bought a Wifi scale specifically so I don't have to have my phone with bluetooth on, nearby.

Our has that option, but as multiple people in the house used the scale, having a phone on hand (which we do anyway) streamlines the process versus having to identify the user weighing.. user preference really.

>Does the BT-connection open the app itself, or just initiate a sync in a background service?

Background service as best as I can tell. I rarely, if ever, open the app in foreground and the weight is captured.

There's some parallels with epilepsy patients that have split brain surgery, essentially isolating both hemispheres. I can't remember the precise details, but in one experiment, the left (language) side of the brain is able to post-hoc rationalize picking up a glass of water, after the right side of the brain was asked to do so (presumably in the left ear). When asked in the right ear, "Why did you pick up the glass", the left brain simply replies to the researcher that they wanted to pick up the glass. This experiment implies 'dual consciousness', but why stop at two? But certainly dual consciousness could also explain blindsightedness.

Having done a little bit of work in the area[1], I think you should publicly document exactly what those best-practices are. Are the workloads running in a networkless container? Do you limit IO? Do you limit disk usage? Answering these in detail would help you gain customer trust on both sides.

The problem of EU as I see it is that it is comprised of "normal" European countries - meaning, for all of their economic development, small-ish and not having direct military ambitions, or requirement to have those. These are countries living in their cute doll house.

USA isn't "normal european country" - but it's far. Russia is not a normal european country and cannot be one, much as a hippo cannot be a horse. Turkey also is not one. And these two you are directly bordering.

There is some discrepancy: you are telling that Russians can only blame themselves for being worse off, but in fact Russians aren't complaining, and it is fellow Europeans who all the time blame Russia and also complain about their political and economic conditions.

I'm currently 80% through building an interactive site for language teachers in Sveltekit; self-taught 90% by AI. Has taken like 4 months so far.

It was a dream of mine for ages to bring to life the courses I run in an online manner, and use it as a vehicle to help newly-qualified teachers. Without AI, it probably wouldn't have been possible.

For those who want to break out of the lot they've been dealt in life, AI could be a godsend when it comes to learning.

Not a custom ROM maker, though I did get lost trying to plan one for my old Xiaomi Mi A3 (laurel_sprout). Another guy did make a unofficial LOS for it though.

Custom ROMs nowadays require you to be scouring Qualcomm out of tree source repositories (or firmware dumps of equivalent phones, I think, in the case of Mediatek). It's impossible to guarantee quality with this conditions. Even if you just want to have a pristine kernel tree of the original firmware you may find, if it was ever released, it was squashed on the wrong source commit (again, laurel_sprout, though a random Github angel fixed it).

So Google's devices tend, thankfully, to have better sources. Additionally, GOS team is competent and, for now, sustained full-time by donations. Those three conditions are what allow GOS to be a very good ROM.

Do note: it has its quirks, specially with the new trimestral code dumps by Google where half-baked features are on the source (though disabled by feature flags).
"Wrong symbol"?! For the most part nobody cares

Now, sure, in some cases, like the Gatwick example in the site, that is wrong/questionable.

> There are some curious flag choices made for representing languages: such as Andorra for Catalan. With a population of around 80,000, there are are fewer people in Andorra than the seating capacity of Catalonia’s largest football ground, FC Barcelona’s Nou Camp (almost 100,000 people).

But flags can be a good help for people with some linguistic/reading difficulties (besides the issues when you need to find the 'switch language' option in an unknown (to you) language.

The article is high on “propaganda as a weapon” (which I accept), but virtually silent on how said propaganda is spreading “wokeism”, as opposed to other divisive issues that also affect the political right negatively.

Can it build a C++ SFML application on windows?

I am now annoyed by the claims of those build systems. My own experience is using a visual studio project manually, and writing classic makefile for linux. Those are things I can't avoid learning.

The root of the problem is that windows/unix do things differently, but that doesn't change anyone's understanding of how a compiler/linker works.

I am against those build system: I need to learn how to use them, and I need to understand how they manage to "reunite" different toolchains.

Generally, I would guess I spend less time building something on each system with either visual studio/makefiles, than using a meta-build system.

Microsoft is at fault for making things differently, of course, but attempts to reunite platforms are often quite misguided

Of course, people who write libraries need those build systems, obviously, although I don't know what any other build system does better than CMake.

It sounds to me like they care more about people using a PSN account rather than just selling games.

I can't imagine they the tracking data they get from accounts is more profitable than an actual sale.

Perhaps they're convinced that forcing people to create accounts somehow leads to more future sales?
The article actually doesn’t say any such thing. It simply assumes that a Chinese propaganda machine is focused only on “wokeism”. Dog forbid that they should seek to use propaganda to attack both sides - which is far more effective at spreading division.

The question isn't "where are you from", but "which country speaks a language that is similar to how you speak". If you're living in the UK and are given the choice between Denmark and Australia, the latter is the more similar.

They are prison, and it has nothing to do with either regulation or using the laissez-faire approach. You are being sold a computer which is controlled by someone else, even after the sale takes place. That's essentially it. Maybe it would even require no additional regulation, just interpretation of current regulation (the essential basics of civil law, that is) which would make a contract of sale of such device invalid, as you're not controlling it, treating it de-facto more like as a indefinite rent contract.

The website argues that using a flag for a language may confuse or even offend users. It argues English would most appropriately be represented by the flag of England, but few people know the flag of England, so English is usually represented by the flag of the UK or the US, neither of which are appropriate because other languages are spoken in the UK and English does not originate from the US.

I would argue that using either the UK or US flag is less likely to confuse anyone than not using any flag, and that anyone offended by this needs to grow a tougher skin.

The fact that any mapping from a language to a flag is to some extent arbitrary does not imply that no mapping at all is better. This sounds like a variation of the Sorites paradox.

Furthermore, I find it amusing that a website dedicated to languages, which are roughly sets of arbitrary conventions we use to communicate, is offended by the choice of another arbitrary convention to communicate.
I wouldn't personally think of that as a "wrong symbol" though – it's just an anachronistic representation used to establish a visual representation of an abstract concept.

I'd be concerned if I saw a save button with a printer icon on it though – they're both recognisably computer peripherals but they're definitely not interchangeable!
I had this fight for a few years while I worked on the development of parking systems (ie. kiosk/pos systems used in parking garages). The use of those flags was so deeply engrained in that industry... For Dutch speakers, folks in Belgium had to choose the flag of the Netherlands. French flag for the Wallons. Flag of Germany for that small part of Belgium that speaks German. Sometimes blended Dutch/Belgian and French/Belgian flags were used, but never a blended German/Belgian flag. Also, the French and Dutch flags have the same colors. It was a mess. But the coworkers wanted it, the customers wanted it, I probably gave in, I don't remember...

Edit: I had a similar fight over the difference between time zones and time periods.
US is pivoting to APAC, not away. That's the important theatre in the next decade, as agreed upon by basically everyone related to the US military and foreign policy. In particular, pursuing China containment policy, which is bipartisan.

Trump may withdraw from Europe but it's unlikely he'd take that approach with Asia. He and the Republicans are hawkish on China, and they don't have the equivalent of a powerful Europe to do the heavy lifting for them. Russia is also only 0.1x the size of China, and the US doesn't have key interests in Eastern Europe aside from NATO preservation. Trump has also given more firm verbal commitments to Asian allies in the past.

I wonder how central bank digital currencies will play into this. E.g. for the digital Euro, the ECB intends it to be included under legal tender [0] laws making acceptance of digital cash mandatory wherever you can pay in cash (i.e. every physical POS).

I expect most digital wallets to be made obsolete by such a measure, because most of the use of a digital wallet as described by the post is easy, nearly free digital transactions by end-users. Everything else can be done using your regular bank account. An ECB-backed alternative to Paypal, Venmo, Cash App et al. would certainly be more trustworthy to citizens and the compulsory acceptance by merchants will artifically solve the chicken-egg problem that most such private companies have.

Ditto for debit cards, which would pose a threat to Visa and Mastercard.

I'm curious what kind of ecosystem will exist around CBDCs.

> Under ITU and national spectrum management laws such behavior is supposed to unlawful but no one including the FCC does anything of consequence about it (once if you emitted radio noise you'd soon find radio inspectors clambering all over your equipment with RF noise detectors).

Well, back then radio inspectors didn't have to fear getting shot.

Snark aside: it's only getting worse every day. Temu, Wish, Alibaba, Amazon dropshippers - almost none of the stuff they sell has passed any kind of compliance audits, and they aren't even required if the device in question isn't intended to participate in RF communication. That is the real culprit... all these billions upon billions of small devices with high frequency voltage regulators that all act as (very) tiny RF emitters.

And even if you'd begin to teach about shielding and EM suppression in electronics design courses, it would be pretty useless against the infamous magics of "gongkai". Just look at this $12 phone [1] - no RF shielding anywhere despite the thing literally being a cellphone. And yet if I were to order one of these, even an entire batch, chances are high no one would ever stop me.

Bathrooms need icons because they have to assume users who can't read, or don't know the local language. None of these two problems apply to language selection 99.9999% of the time: if you can't read, you can't use a system based on reading no matter the language, and if you don't recognize the name of a language in a list, you also do not want to select it.

If you think you can detect only cp-1252 i have news for you. This is 1-byte encoding, it can't fit much. So, be prepared for whole zoo of other 1-byte encodings from that era (e.g. cyrillic letters - welcome to cp-1251, where everything above first 128 chars have totally different meaning). Writing encoding detector is not easy at all. Chance of guessing wrong is high. I'm glad most of the world (but not excel) moved on away from that can of worms

> You are suggesting that if software developers willfully refuse to implement

it will happen anyway, sooner or later

> will result in lots of corruption

there are lots of corruption anyway, e.g euro sign, some european letters, whole other alphabets like cyrillic one). The most dangerous are subtle ones like german ẞ)

P.S. I don't have office installed to check, but online version exports non cp-1252 chars as "?" . So nice

P.P.S. Apple Numbers offers choice of encoding on export, with UTF-8 default. Google Sheets exports as UTF-8 without choice

Example where entering the name of the laqnguage would be slower than scrolling through options: a video game with a controller.

I don't think I've ever seen that as a 'type in the language you want' option, only scrolling through options.

Also it might only have 5-10 options to begin with, since localization of a video game into a bunch of languages can be pretty expensive, especially if it's a text-heavy game.
But I don’t know Chinese so I don’t know that is an arbitrary Chinese character with the Latin A for contrast. I’ve seen languages that don’t use the Latin alphabet occasionally intersperse Latin letters before so until I was told just now I assumed that this Chinese character with A had some significance in Chinese.

So I don’t think it’s very effective at that.

It really isn’t. You presumably live in a country. That country has a flag. If you click that flag, there is a high chance you’ll get a language you understand - and if you don’t, you probably already know the reason and how to fix it (diaspora, multi-lingual country etc.). A few easy-to-address edge cases are no basis to fuck up everyone else’s experience.
